Kenya: Sugar Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   KE2023-0003

Kenya’s sugar production is expected to decline in MY 2023/24 to 650,000 metric tons (MT) due to lower area harvested as Kenya farmers prematurely harvest sugar cane in MY 2022/23 to meet Kenya’s increasing milling demand. MY 2023/24 consumption is anticipated to increase marginally as high sugar prices and inflation slow consumer demand growth.
